I stopped in Pine Top Arizona for breakfast yesterday. There's a little coffee shop there I like. I was sitting at the counter when an older gal sat down two seats over. We struck up a conversation.
She was from the north east and had moved with her husband to Scottsdale. North eastern liberals are common there, apparently.
Anyhow, she asked me if I was visiting the area. I said, "No Ma'am. We have a small ranch in the neighboring county." She screwed up her face and asked me if we had cows. I said, "No Ma'am. I was raised around farms and ranches. In my experience, cows are a big bunch of trouble wrapped up in a leather bag and I'm getting too old to put up with them." I said, "But my neighbor is a castle rancher. He's got thousands of 'em. His cows graze on our land all the time."
It was at that point that she leaned over with a concerned look on her face and whispered, "They pass a lot of gas." I replied, "That's no problem, Ma'am. I pass a lot of gas too." And thus, the conversation ended.
Grok made the Mariachi Band. The others we deported. 😁
In the first half, attorney Sean Maloney from Second Call Defense joins me to explain the lessons gun owners can learn from what happened to Kyle Rittenhouse.
In the second half, I discuss a home invasion case from Oceanside California in which the homeowner successfully defended himself.
'Law Enforcement Zero' came up in my CCW class this weekend. Most folks have no clue about where law enforcement is headed—and it's not good.
